Michael Gerndt received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1989 from the University of Bonn. He developed SUPERB the first automatic parallelizer for distributed memory parallel machines. For two years, in 1990 and 1991, he held a postdoc position at the University of Vienna and joined Research Centre Juelich in 1992 where he concentrated on programming and implementation issues of shared virtual memory systems. This research led to his habilitation in 1998 at TU München. Since 2000 he is professor for architecture of parallel and distributed systems at TU München where he developed the Periscope Tuning Framework. His current research focuses on programming models and tools for HPC architectures and in extending serverless computing for the Edge/Cloud Continuum especially in the context of IoT.
